How LOG() Works in MariaDB

In MariaDB, LOG() is a built-in function that returns the natural logarithm of its argument to a given base.

It can be called with one or two arguments:

  • When called with one argument, returns the natural logarithm of the argument.
  • When called with two arguments, returns the logarithm of the second argument to the base specified in the first argument.

When called with a single argument, LOG() is the inverse of EXP(), and it’s the same as using LN().

How LN() Works in MariaDB

In MariaDB, LN() is a built-in function that returns the natural logarithm of its argument. In other words, it returns the base-e logarithm of its argument.

The number e, also known as Euler’s number, is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828.

LN() is the inverse of EXP(), and it’s the same as using LOG() with the single argument syntax.

How EXP() Works in MariaDB

In MariaDB, EXP() is a built-in function that returns the value of e (the base of natural logarithms) raised to the power of the argument.

The number e, also known as Euler’s number, is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828.

The inverse of EXP() is the LN() function or LOG() function (when using the single argument syntax).
